The Long Climb, 5.8

Somehow I managed to get out the camera in the middle of the infamous Mummy Crack on the second pitch. One can only wonder if Robbins and Wilson, who did the first ascent in 1952, had done the Mummery Crack on Aiguille de Grepon in the French Alps and twisted the word around?
To start this route it is generally considered a good idea to omit the original first pitch in favor of that nice crack seen leading straight up to the base of the Mummy. It is the first pitch of the Wong Climb (confused now?), a soft, but long and excellent 5.8 fissure.
